»» 



A T 10:30 A. M. every day one of our luxurious Parlor Obser- 
vation Cars leaves the station at Sixth and Main Streets for 
a run to beautiful Rubio Canyon. A stop at the famous Cawston 
Ostrich Farm enables the tourist to study the great birds, and then 
a comprehensive tour of Pasadena is made, so that the visitor may 
have a complete idea of this idylic city. Beyond, the way lies 
through Altadena and the Poppy Fields, at their season a glorious 
mass of color amid which the tourist may revel at will long 
enough to pick a generous boquet. The way ends at Rubio Can- 
yon, the most romantic glen in all the Sierra Madre range. From 
the approaches to Rubio the passengers look out over Altadena and 
Pasadena — over many a fair home and fruited orchard — to the sea. 
The canyon itself extends a mile or more into the mountain, and is 
filled with points of romantic interest.

A^ 



ye Alpine Tavern, a charming bit of Swiss architecture 
neslhng m a romantic glen and overshadowed by great trees 
where squirrels Irollic and 
birds sing, begins the trail to 
the summit. Let us hope the 
steel rails will never venture 
faither to rob us of the de- 
lights of the burro ride to the 
apex, only I 100 feet above 
us, but which winds by the 
devious path that skirls the 
highest peaks, where every 
turn breaks on our vision wide 
reaching panoramas that in- 
spire and thrill us. From the 
summit, bald but tor a few 
hardy shrubs and a single pin- 
ion pine that somehow found 
lodgment there, one looks off 
over thousands of square miles 
of serrated mountain tops, pop- 
ulous orange and vine clad 
valleys, and the blue, mysteri- 
ous island-dotted sea. 

Special rales by the week 
quoted on application.
